It appears to be TOL. I'd get it if it weren't for the fact I have too many dryers and not enough washers.

Looks like a 700. It's from ~64, and not TOL. The electronic control would have been TOL.

I've seen people use a large cap. washer with a HOH dryer. The clothes are usually fill the entire drum when they are dry. Even though the electronic control 700 series was the TOL, even the timed dry models were equipped with all the bells and whistles. All excellent quality.

But the wrinkles, the wrinkles!
~I've seen people use a large cap. washer with a HOH dryer.
Mother Toggle had a Norge 20lb (9kg) washer with a 1966/67 HOH gas dryer around 1973/1974.
Other than the dryer occasionally needing more than 60 minutes [which was the maximum avaialble on the timer], it worked for her.

My mom was definitely not the swiftest on the block when it came to laundry. As I've commented here before, there wasn't much sorting done on her part wehn eveer laundry was done. I guess one of the reasons I went to such an opposite extreme of sorting. Anyway, I will giver her this for sure. The NORGE15 arrived December 63 or December 1964 (my mind is beginning to question and not sure which year). Anyway, we still had the gas Norge TimeLine dryer from the early 1950s. I was given explicit, specific instructions, full loads were to be washed in the washer and that load was to be divided into 2 dryer loads every time. And that's how laundry was done at our house until the matching dryer arrived the following February. So there was never any overloading of the old Norge dryer when teamed with the 60% larger capacity new washer.

Sorting the appropriate laundry is always the best way to get the best results. I think things have gone way too far with capacity issues on washers and dryers. Size matters in the bedroom more than the laundry room.
My mom was an expert sorter. Towels, even dark ones were never washed with sweaters or knit clothing or even cotton shirts, too linty. Sheets were to be done seperatley, mostly they could be hung out on the line, and they were a different fabric care setting.
Underwear loads were done with towels(white) with bleach.
I have found that it is stupid to have a ginormous mixed load of laundry, nothing seems to come out right. Linty socks stuck to staticky sheets with grey towel lint all over.
Sorting by fabric type and color is important too. And when you do that you come up with smaller loads.
The Maytag Halo of heat does a great job on an average to a large load, but would never handle the super capacity of today's top loaders, and frankly, clothing should not be dried that way. There is a difference between what you wear on your body and what your towels and washcloths need in terms of laundry, and there are all kinds of settings for these.
I think the industry is becoming size queens about capacity on laundry. Every household member has a different laundry need. When I was 13, my mother said" Grab your lanundry basket, come down cellar, Momma wants to show you how to do your laundry" She worked, had four kids and did not have time to take care of our every laundry need. We still use the Maytag washer of that era.
Some housewives(if there are any left) are anal retentive about others doing laundry.
If I didn't have the initial training, I would still be washing cotton towels with black wool socks.
Mega loads may save energy, but your clothes will look like crap. Laundry is an art, when done correctly. You don't need a sledgehammer to drive in a tack just to wash a few nice garments. And forget about doing comforters at home. King size ones? How stupid.

~My mom was an expert sorter.
In my mother's hosue one may not wash in the same load anything worn above the waist with anything worn below the waist. (Below the waist is *DIRTY*)
She should only see skid-marked underwear and with kitchen towels as seen in laundromats everywhere.
Speaking of laundromats you have not LIVED until you have seen RAID spray insecticide go into a washer with load of clothes.
Anyway, I never had any complaints with the HOH dryer I grew up with. it was basic, it was boring, (and luckily it was white not Avocado or Harvest gold) but it would not die, and never a repair. Endured 25+/-years. Family of 5.

Your mother sounded like mine, really good about knowing fabrics, but when she went to work full time teaching, we were on our own. Raid in the machine sounds scary, in a laundromat. I wash my comforters in the big front loaders at the laundromat. OMGod. I am getting Duvet Covers.
